To mark this anniversary, LAD will hold a conference on Thursday, 28 June 2012, lining up previous LAD directors and other keynote speakers. We will also pay tribute to Professor John Jackson, for his invaluable contribution to the field of international trade law.
The conference will conclude with a cocktail reception in the WTO's new atrium, where the 3rd edition of the WTO Analytical Index will be launched.
Please join us in the celebrations as we enter the fourth decade of LAD.
